I think the resale value comes down to shutter count more than a bit of brassing at the corners.  But I like your tip anyway. I find the biggest clue that a camera/ lens is getting well used now is ...

To double the resolution you need 4x the pixels.  From 40 to 60 megapixels is something like 20% more resolution.

I'll go to whatever brand has the highest DR, megapixels and high ISO performance. (within my price range.)  That's what brought me to sony.

I feel like a lot of people on this forum tend to shop for cameras as if they are a collectors item.

Shutterfly can be as cheap a 9 cents a print if you buy in bulk so if you have larger projects they might be the cheapest. I've always been happy with their color and paper choices.

For weddings the switch to sony would work great.  I did with very few regrets.

If you want fast reliable tracking on the sony you are going to need native lenses.  I use adapters and love all my old canon glass on the sony but if I was shooting sports I don't think I would ...

I had pretty much written on super zooms due to past disappointments but Tamron's 28-300 for dslr seems to have people generally pleased. Under 600 with B + optics and I will be sold.

It helps that it's a tax write off. I thought of 3-4 more cameras that I never mentioned. Pentax 67, a6300, rx0, olympus tg-1,2,4

Same camera I started with :)

Loved my 285

I don't regret selling all my old cameras over the last 30 years because I needed the money at the time but I have considered going back and buying a used copy on ebay now that they are quite...

I made the switch from 70-200 to 135 1.8 as soon as the sigma 135 came out and I have never regretted it. http://www.adamapalmer.com

I would get this lens if it was E mount

Sensor fabs have clean facilities but the amount of work that goes into getting all the dust out of the air is intense so I don't think it's done at the later stages of production.

Had that camera in the 90s. Loved it. Of course if I wanted to go back to film now I would go all manual.

How far do you expect the flash to go?  Most flashes have a guide number (200 for a powerful shoe mount flash at full zoom).  That means at f 4.0 you would get about 50 feet.  If the sun was ...

Can't beat the 1 inch sensor but if your funds are limited this new camera will beat the older sub 1 inch sensors handily. Time to sell my Mavic classic and grab one of these.

I think in really bright light you might see some benefit. At least that's how it works with my smartphone with a similar sensor.

Really want to see some image samples from the wide angle 1 inch sensor. Any word on f stop for that lens?
